Book Description

The discovery of a manuscript written by a Tibetan monk reveals the Morning Tree - powerful esoteric knowledge that can transform people's lives and lead humanity to a golden age. The Morning Tree, protected for centuries, now needs to be released - but dark forces are determined to destroy it. The manuscript tells how Thaza, a Mongolian horseman with his own inner demons, is led to the Morning Tree and eventually risks his life for truths he comes to realise are vital for humanity. The manuscript is discovered by Daniel Clifton, an English academic seeking a quiet life. His life too is turned upside down as he grasps the importance of the Morning Tree and the urgent need to reveal it to the world. Thaza and Daniel's extensive journeys span 1930s Tibet to modern day London. They offer a fresh way to understand life, see death in a new light, expand consciousness and recognise the spirituality now coming in.

Book Description

Mike Sullivan loves his adopted city of San Francisco, and he loves trees. In The Trees of San Francisco he has combined his passions, offering a striking and handy compendium of botanical information, historical tidbits, cultivation hints, and more. Sullivan's introduction details the history of trees in the city, a fairly recent phenomenon. The text then piques the reader's interest with discussions of 71 city trees. Each tree is illustrated with a photograph--with its common and scientific names prominently displayed--and its specific location within San Francisco, along with other sites; frequently a close-up shot of the tree is included. Sprinkled throughout are 13 sidelights relating to trees; among the topics are the city's wild parrots and the trees they love; an overview of the objectives of the Friends of the Urban Forest; and discussions about the link between Australia's trees and those in the city, such as the eucalyptus. The second part of the book gets the reader up and about, walking the city to see its trees. Full-page color maps accompany the seven detailed tours, outlining the routes; interesting factoids are interspersed throughout the directions. A two-page color map of San Francisco then highlights 25 selected neighborhoods ideal for viewing trees, leading into a checklist of the neighborhoods and their trees.

Book Description

A fresh twist on Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree based on a real tree in Wisconsin that became something more, this is a timeless story about loss and renewal at home and in nature. "This is a true story about a Tree that grew from something more than water and sunshine. It grew from love." The animals and humans always knew their tree was special. The trunk was the best place to host championship bingo tournaments, and the branches were perfect for swinging in the shade! But when the tree gets sick, neighbors new and old will have to join forces if they have any chance of saving their treetop home. A touching tale based on the true story of one special tree, and the community that brought it back to life.
